Vocal Coach Reacts! Leprous! Acquired Taste! Live!

[@jen.g.]

Love Einar and love this band! They’re one of the few bands that give me goosebumps. Loved the reaction!

[@nostalcholy]

I discovered them last year and I have already seen them perform live three times by now. Einar is why I started taking vocals lessons and I'm now working on Below. Those high notes are within my range apparently but to pull them off properly, not beginner stuff for sure. Leprous is probably my second favorite band ever behind Opeth.

[@sarakaster]

Jenmato brought me here!

[@kel7131]

How does it happen that I see a comment of yours under every single music-related video that I watch? xd

[@jen.g.]

Kel Because we both have great taste in music? 🤷‍♀️

[@TravisCampbell6l6]

My experience with this band: 1st listen - "WTF is this?? Nah." 2nd listen - "IDK, something about this, IDK, I kinda like?" 3rd listen - "Ok, I'm hooked! I LOVE these guys!" I cannot stop listening to them. Such a great change to the metal I normally listen to.

[@ShadowFlame420]

i had the same experience

[@Capricornhell]

if you want to hear more "aaaahaaaaaahaaaa" from Einar, you should check their song "the valley"

[@jilblanche]

I've never heard them before. I love this.

[@murder13love]

Welcome to heaven haha!

[@AmaraNott]

I'm soooo happy you liked this one too! Thank you for reacting to Leprous again! ❤ Einar has one of my favourite voices (if not my favourite) of all time as well, and considering he is doing all that while still playing the keys for the band is super impressive. The guitar player doing the harmonies is called Tor and yes, their voices match super well! I guess the entire band does back vocals minus the drummer. You know I will continue asking for some of their stuff, but in the meantime if you like them so much, please do check their music! 😊 thanks again, Sam! You're the best ❤

[@shanedelacruz1436]

One of my all time favorite bands and vocalists, I'm continuously blown away every time I hear any of the songs from this set.

[@rookmenka]

You should totally react to Distant Bells or At The Bottom by Leprous... Einar is really an amazing singer. Thank you for this video!

[@Erickhetfield]

Two of the most incredible vocal performances ever. Not just by Leprous, I mean Ever.

[@owenbenjaminshapiro6285]

You have any links to great live performances? Those two songs sound amazing on the album, goosebumps stuff, but he sounds like he overextends himself. There isn't as much power in his chest voice live when he's at the limit of his range

[@rookmenka]

I mean I think he totally managed here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aovcfWuCqtaFqpY

[@murder13love]

Leprous are amazing at bringing out your own creativity.. I call it painting music.. it just puts you in a zone! They have become my favourite band this past few years!

[@fwomp]

I listen to this song at least twice a day, it's my all-time favorite song from my all-time favorite album by my all-time favorite band. I cannot explain how much their lyirics means to me and how much they've helped me through the hardest times of my life. So glad to find other people as baffled by their talent as I am.

[@Kelly.sapphire]

One of my favorite bands and they sound awesome live. I was lucky to see them their first US tour and other tours since. Einar does have a very distinct voice that fits the music so well. For another prog metal band with a great singer you should do Caligula's Horse from Australia.

[@scosstard3542]

Awesome reaction and breakdown, we have both the technical analysis of the singing, but also genuine moments of you being amazed and just wanting to enjoy rather than commenting. This is not my favourite song of Leprous, but this live version really brings the song to a new level and this is definitely one of the strongest performance on this live DVD, absolutely beautiful!

[@DiederickBosman]

Currently the best band on Mother Earth. In the studio and live. 5 beasts playing wonderful music

[@shanedelacruz1436]

It's about time someone did a reaction to this one. It's such a gem.

[@JohnDoeSchmoe]

11:42 Aaah, that hits the spot! Amazing! _And_ it's frickin' live!

[@Ryguypie17]

We love Leprous reactions! Thank you so much for doing these, and I'm glad you're enjoying the journey of discovering how amazing these guys are!

[@jackillin]

Love Leprous. Thanks for doing another review. I was listening to this song on Spotify in the supermarket a few weeks ago & found myself in the corner pretending to be really interested in something 'cause I started crying! Aiyyyaaaaa ahahahahaaaaa Hope I get to see them live one day!

[@belquerst]

You should really react to Alleviate.. I'm sure you gotta love it!

[@Syzygy77]

This is in my top three Leprous songs

[@MrDrus]

I don’t know Leprous that much but I’m happy this song was recommended - at first, when I listened to it (via, shameless ad on, Discord Patreon songs list), I was astonished by the way they managed to combine his specific manner with this... groovy rhythm. I’m still on the verge of confusion but thanks for dissecting it!

[@alexmackzie]

Holy, my favourite live leprous song. Thanks for taking a chance on not as popular songs/bands/videos. Excited to see what you think

[@TeaOnTue]

Yes they are seriously metal. These songs roaming around on here are their softest sounds out of their music. And I personally love them all because they are so different. BUT, for the love of fried chicken, they are, especially Einar is, criminally melodic. Melody flows out of him. You can probably find him at any time of the day just humming a melody, he's so musical.

[@JohnDoeSchmoe]

I have nothing of substance to add, other than to say I LOVE this reaction, and of course the song / performance / band!

[@pallassallad]

Thank you for this reaction. Looks like you are a little bit infatuated with Einar's voice! ;) It's ok, I am too. It's been a year now, and I think it's time for their _Castaway Angels_!

[@rocioflower8999]

You are back again! 😀👏

[@banehog]

"Ah aah" intensifies

[@Rafael-qi9bt]

I would like to suggest some reactions. From Tarja Turunen's solo career, please, react to "underneath", the studio version (it's one of the most beautiful rock synphonic ballads I've ever heard), and "Supremacy", live version recorded in Milan (it's really amazing). From Nightwith with Tarja, the music video of "Bless the child" is wonderful. It deserves a reaction too. Thank you very much!

[@hvypower2472]

I agree with you . As an amateur power metal singer . Falcetto and head voice is totally different . With head voice you keep a good mix and some "weight" coming from the chest . Falcetto is more light and thin sounding.It s the way to make good transitions.

[@TwoandaHater]

"aural poetry" maybe?

[@TwoandaHater]

We need Eric Emory (Skyharbor's Blind Side) or Matt McAndrew now that he is with Slaves (maybe Prayers).

[@Lunam-et-solem]

React to Dir En Grey!!!!!

[@AMKN75]

Damn fine song, but hey.. check out the album Coal. So much good music there! ^^ This is a great reaction video too, the band deserve the recognition you give them.

[@harrythatsme2100]

I saw you only did 2 nightwish songs. If you like more Floor these are all epic. -Romanticide -Storytime -Song Of Myself -The Poet and the pendulum etc etc etc Thx and love your reactions

[@ShadowFlame420]

wow, i've nvr heard this version before!!! very different than what's on the album. would you consider reacting to that as well?

[@patrickloristo4987]

i hope you to react on bamboo's performance he has a great tone of voice he is a filipino singer

[@raminkamalian3526]

Oooover theeeeerrrreeee!! How are you doing buddy? I watch you every night but I write you once in a while. And I only write you, nobody else. Request pls: Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa live in Amsterdam “ I rather go blind “ . Sam you’ll love it unlike her other song you reacted to 1 month ago. I wish I could become a patreon but we can’t send money out of Iran, sanctions you know? And no services like paypal and no credit cards either, everything cash here. Sorry I would send some without asking anything in return because you are so cool.

[@fr2ncm9]

Please review Castaway Angels or their new song Running Low.

[@niceday5206]

HII, i really love your video.. i hope you react to MAMAMOO too.. especially MAMAMOO Delilah cover.. you will love it😍

[@TeamECHO_Official]

You should react to morissette rise up 🤩

[@Opranius]

You should definitely listen to the whole new Leprous record. Very poppish in a good way and less metal.

[@TripleFermentation]

I was surprised to find out... it's their best album yet. Stunning.

[@renevw5812]

Please do the song The Valley from Leprous.

pls! react Tesseract - Phoenix (Jägermeister Music presents: TesseracT - Phoenix, live in the studio)

[@russellnash7097]

I very much enjoyed your technical analysis of this song. Especially the bit where you explained where the seemingly easy 'ah-ha' part is much more difficult to sing than we'd think at a first listen. If you enjoyed this, you might also be interested in listening to this beautiful piece of music by Raphael Weinroth-Browne. He's a Canadian cellist who's toured with Leprous several times. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHPQk2hngp1gnsU (This is not a reaction request, BTW. There's no vocals in it. Just thought it might be the kind of music you enjoy.)

[@nooaparkatti4571]

This version kinda falls flat in places compared to the album version of the song. Still pretty well executed though considering it's a really hard song👍🏼

[@hlzen]

Please react to Shila Amzah's rendition of "Listen" . She is a Malaysian singer and song writer. This version is a competition in China few years back. Please see if she meets with the professional standard in regards of her falsetto, melisma, belting and etc. Hoping to see your reaction soon. The link is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqaki4N-bdqgbcU
